The Shelter-in-Place (Level 3 incident) for Rodeo and Crockett is ended. Because of continued flaring, the incident is continuing as a Level 1 - there is an incident but there are no anticipated impacts.

A power outage occurred at approximately 10 a.m. at the Conoco Phillips Refinery in Rodeo. When a power outage occurs, the refinery burns off - flares - backed-up combustible material. That flaring resulted in smoke over Crockett and Rodeo. Shelter-in-place sirens were sounded twice. Some flaring is continuing but the Shelter-in-Place is over.
